The gray eminence in a skirt, who influenced the lives of many famous performers, being in the shadows. Glory, recognition, oblivion - all this was in the life of a singer named Tatyana Antsiferova. Thousands of fans came to the singer's performances, and then only the most devoted remained.
Childhood and early years of the singer Tatyana Antsiferova
Tanya Antsiferova was born on July 11, 1954 in Bashkiria. Until the 2nd grade, she lived with her parents in the city of Sterlitamak, where her father worked. Then the family moved to Ukraine - to Kharkov. As a child, she showed her singing talent. This is not strange, because dad and his parents were musical people. Songs often sounded at home, and various musical instruments hung on the walls. Music was everyone's hobby. Only Tatyana turned it into a life's work.
The girl first studied piano, only then she began to study vocals. The school also immediately noticed her talent. Teachers were interested in her amateur performances. Antsiferova sang in front of classmates. Everyone liked it so much that they asked her to sing a new one every time. A few years later she became a member of the school vocal and instrumental ensemble.
After graduating from high school, Tanya Antsiferova went to the Kharkov Music and Pedagogical School. In 1971, the girl came to the Vesuvius ensemble, where she met her future husband. The singer performed a lot with concerts, which led to problems in her studies. Soon she was forced to transfer to correspondence courses in Belgorod.
Professional career development
In 1973, the Vesuvius ensemble changed its name to Lybid. The team continued to tour the Union, increasing popularity. The following year, Antsiferova and Belousov considered immigrating to the United States. However, the man fell ill, so plans had to be changed. The family stayed and continued to tour with their native ensemble, which again changed its name to "Music". The repertoire has been replenished with new compositions - from folk songs to rock.
The end of the 1970s was marked by many successful collaborations. Composers Victor Reznikov, Alexander Zatsepin brought something new to the activity of the ensemble. Personally for Antsiferova, acquaintance with Zatsepin was a significant event. The composer fell in love with Tatyana's voice and offered to record a song for the film "June 31". This was an achievement, because then Alexander Zatsepin was the main composer in the cinema.
The next few years, the singer "warmed up" the audience at the concerts of Vladimir Vysotsky, recorded soundtracks for films. A new turning point in his career occurred in 1980. Everyone said that the singer was awarded the All-Union honor. Together with Lev Leshchenko, Antsiferova performed at the closing of the Summer Olympic Games in Moscow.
1981 was a difficult test for the singer. She was diagnosed with serious thyroid problems that required urgent surgery. Nevertheless, three years passed before a serious operation was performed. The doctors said that she would never be able to sing again. But Tatyana Antsiferova is a model of perseverance. The singer returned to concert activity, and three years later gave birth to a son.
In the 1990s, Antsiferova gave concerts even less often, and also did not appear on television. Later in an interview, the singer admitted that she felt forgotten by everyone. However, she recorded several more songs and film soundtracks.
During her career, Tatyana Antsiferova collaborated with I. Kokhanovsky, D. Tukhmanov and many other talented people. She called A. Gradsky, I. Kobzon and Barbra Streisand her idols.
Tatyana Antsiferova and her personal life
The singer was married once. The composer and musician Vladimir Belousov became the chosen one. The future spouses met when Antsiferova was 15 years old. The girl came to audition for the ensemble, led by Belousov. A 12-year-old older man fell in love at first sight.
The girl was accepted without trial, and a love story began, lasting decades. At first there were many problems - the composer's age, wife and child. The relationship was kept secret until one day the singer's mother saw the rehearsal and understood everything. The situation was complicated by the fact that Belousov's wife did not give a divorce.
They stopped living together a few years before they met Antsiferova, but remained married. The couple faced condemnation and misunderstanding of people. The performer's father was worried, and until his daughter came of age, he was against the relationship.
The singer was jealous of her husband. The composer was popular with women, but remained faithful to his wife. The couple lived together for 37 years, until Belousov died from rupture of internal organs due to an ulcer. The musician died in 2009.
15 years after the wedding, the couple had a son, Vyacheslav. From childhood, the boy showed a love for music. He studied at a music school, showed great promise. However, in the mid-1990s, the child suffered from mumps. The result was sad - damage to the nervous system and, as a result, acquired autism. The disease was not curable.
The boy barely graduated from music school, became unsociable. Today he cannot live by himself, serve himself. The man is afraid of people and does not leave the apartment. Tatyana Antsiferova lives with her son, helps in everything.
Belousov has a daughter from his first marriage. Oddly enough, Antsiferova communicates with her stepdaughter.
